That Sugar Stock.

1t will be remembered that, in our
last issue, we referred to the rumored
sale, by Mr.. Herman Bendel, of all his
stockin the American Sugar Refinery.
The announcement has created con
siderable talk upon the streets, and the
reported sale has been vigorously con
tradicted in certain quarters. Mr.
Bendel has himself stated con his
VOID Of honor as a gentleman that he
had disposed OF all the American Sugar
Refinery stock that he possessed. Mr..
Steele, manager of the American Re-
finery,is reported in the Daily Rsboyf
to have said that Mr., Bendel had not
disposed Of any Of his stock. Mr.
Bendel, however, should know his own
business affairs, and we are inclined to
give credence to the statement made
by him son his word Of honor as a
gentleman" Having disposed of his
stock, he has no interest in saying that
he holds it any longer. San Fianeiseo

CUTS BOTH WAYS.

An important judgment was given
in a civil suit in the Police Court on
Wednesday. 1t appears that hitherto
Chinese immigrants for these islands
had been allowed to ship at San Fran
cisco without paying head money, that
being left for collection at this port,
This was an accommodation both to
the immigrants and those interested in
them here, enabling the former to
reach their destination for SO much
less money and avoiding the necessity
of the latter RENTING the neeedful
Lately Chinaman detained in quar-.
antine failed to pay the immigration
tax, and Officer c. B. Reynolds, Of the
Board Of Health and Police services,
held his baggage til the money should
be forthcoming. Suit Of replevin was
brought against the officer, to compel
him to surrender the property. When
the case came up on the day mentioned
before Police Justice Dayton, the Board
Of Health for its officer consented
to adverse judgment, and that other
baggage abide BY this Judgment Under
this decision it would appear that the
baggage Of immigrants cannot be held
here for their head tax. Acting upon
this understanding the Government
will, II is said, instruct the Hawaiian
Consul at San Francisco to insist upon
the TAX ueiug PAID over there Thus
the persons interested in Chinese i'm
migration have gained nothing by con-
testing the method in vogue for secur-
ing payment Of the money. Hereafter
the tax will have to be paid in advance
at San Francisco to ensure the immi-
grants being allowed to land in this
Kingdom.

CHANGES AT THE CAPITOL,
A New Location Of the Speaker. Room
and Other Alterations TO be Made.

Speaker Carlisle and Architect Clark OF the Cap
ftol were to-day examining the House lobby with
the view OF deciding upon plan to provide the
speaker with another room and give him an en-
trance to IL, without the necessity OF his passing
through one of she corridors. The plan adopted
Is 10 Vacate the room now occupied by the SER
geant-at-arms and give the committee on appro-
pr1at1onS that room and the one adjoining, now
occupied by the Speaker A door Will be cut
through the dividing wall The two
rooms In the southeast corner now
occupied by the appropriations committee are di-
vded by the corridor and the entrance To the ele-
vator Is in that corridor. The members complain
that they are greatly incommoded and delayed in
tnelr WORK by having TO pass, when communica-
tlon Is necessary between the rooms through the
crowds usually collected at the elevator entrance
The proposed change will give the committee two
communicating rooms. The sergeant at-arnS will
oe gwen the room ut present occupied by the ap-
preparations committee on the east side of the cor
ridor. The speaker will be given the smaller
room OF the appropriations committee on
his convenience a door viii be cut
through the rear wall, opening into the House
lobby. This door viii enable the Speaker to pass
to and fro between the House and his room with
out Venturing beyond the precincts that are re-
served exclusively for members AS he Is now
located he is much hindered. especially during the
closing days OF a session, by being wayIaid by
persons anxious 10 See him In the corridor which
he must enter in order 10 reach his room.
The Speaker suggested that a room be con-
Structed for him in the center OF the lobby, as the
Speakers room was formerly located there. But
Mr.. Clark said that could not be done without the
authority OF law, as the present lobby was con-
Structed In It's existing shape In pursuance OF law.
There is no law for the changes agreed upon. but,
MI Clark holds that as the Speaker, the committee
on appropriations and the sergeant-at-arms are
willing to make the changes, regular legal author
ity Is not necessary.
The work OF preparing the rooms will be COM
menced at once.
